I am a RDH, exam and xrays for new patients are standard procedure. If she had xrays taken within two years by another dentist they could have been used. She would not be given an appointment with the hygienist until second appointment. She should have spoken up when they started to take the xrays if she did not want them. The xrays can be sent to another dentist if she decides to go elsewhere. Obviously, there was no "bait and switch" .

I agree with your statement regarding normal procedures for new patient visit, but 6-8 months for a cleaning is NOT acceptable! Wouldn't you agree? Patient should have been told this on the phone before making the first appointment.

Thank you for that info

Make sure you get copies of the xrays, you paid for them. Another dentist will gladly accept them. Suggest you try Dr Gonzalez at Carolina Dentures on 466.

Suggest Lake View Dentistry in Traveres......not the plaza but the town. Understand they have a pretty good Villagers clientele. They came highly recommended to us and the recommendation was accurate....exceptional dentist Tim Pruett, exceptional staff. Sometimes you need to leave to leave the reservation to find the right providers.

He is not one who pushes anything on you but will tell you what he has found and it is then your decision. So far the best I have found in The Villages. He also has replaced two of my crowns, which needed to be done, and he fit them far superior than any dentists I've ever been to. Good luck!!!!!

Our Patrick goes to Dr. Heydari. He and his whole staff are wonderful with him, and the ONLY place to have done successful whole mouth Xrays on him.

I've been using Dr. Barnett, at Laurel Manor since I came to TV 11 years ago and have never had a problem with him.
